And now for something completely different! Yes, I threatened you with promised you tomato pic spam so here it is:

Three different varieties of cherry tomatoes

Look we have flowers already! WooT!

3 tomato plants of the same variety - cherry type again

Eggplant**, cucumber and melon

2 different chilli plants (1 red, 1 yellow) and 1 bell pepper plant!

** the eggplant (aka aubergine) suffered a snap set back on its first night in the greenhouse (perpetrator unknown, but probably either mouse- or fox-like in origin), but has now rallied and looks like it's going to make it *phew*

Hi Maria, everyone uses growing bags like these over here for veggies and salads. I use them cos they're easy; no preparation needed, and at the end of the season I can compost the spent plant and dig the left over soil left in the bag into the garden as a mulch. Makes for a quick tidy up :-).

I also usually get lots of tomatoes and salad stuff using them, although this is the first year I've tried melons, and chillies,so should be interesting :-)
